Monday means more roses in the house. We love using vintage tins for vases. They are the best!I wish I had taken this photo a little better so you could see the vintage railway lantern behind it. It's a junk shop find. Happy Monday.

We just adore our toile fabrics couldn't resist creating this tablescape for lunch last weekend at Jody's house. Because the fabric is so wide it is perfect for most tables and creates a lovely overhang around the sides. We used about 3 m of this blue toile fabric and hemmed the edges. This style of print never goes out of style.Look at the beautiful styles and colours we have available. Just click on the image to find our more information.And for this weekend we are offering 20% off all toile fabrics. Use code: toile20Have a great weekend. Simone & Jody xx
